Abstract
A laboratory stand assembly includes a stand having a post, a sample holder bracket mounted on the post, a sample holder disengageably supported on the holder bracket, a probe mounting member adapted to support a probe, and a probe bracket mounted on the post which supports the probe member in both of two alternate positions. The stand assembly is especially suited for use in connection with the analysis of solder compositions, wherein a probe is inserted into a heated solder sample to monitor its cooling characteristics.
Claims11
A laboratory stand assembly, comprising:
- a stand having a post, and being adapted to support said post in a generally upright position;
- a sample holder bracket mounted on said post of said stand and having a pair of horizontally and vertically spaced lugs extending outwardly from one side thereof;
- and a sample holder having a sample-receiving portion and an elongated handle portion extending from said receiving portion, said holder being disengageably supported on said holder bracket, adjacent said one side thereof, with said handle portion thereof engaged between said lugs of said bracket and constrained thereby against pivotal movement, to prevent downward movement of said receiving portion, said sample holder and said holder bracket each having means thereon which cooperate to constrain said receiving portion to a maximum spacing from said post, and each having means thereon which cooperate to prevent rotational movement of said holder about the axis of said handle portion thereof.
A laboratory stand assembly, comprising:
- a stand having a post, and being adapted to support said post in a generally upright position;
- a probe mounting member having an arm extending therefrom which is adapted to support a probe, said mounting member being slidably mounted on said post of said stand and being of generally T-shaped configuration, with an upright leg and a transverse top beam extending thereacross;
- and a probe bracket fixedly mounted on said post of said stand beneath said mounting member, said bracket being of generally U-shaped configuration with a transverse base beam and a side arm projecting upwardly from each end thereof, said probe bracket and mounting member being dimensioned and configured for cooperative support of the probe in first and second positions, with said probe bracket supporting said probe mounting member in said first position with said leg of said mounting member disposed between said side arms of said probe bracket and said top beam lying across the upper ends of said side arms and supported thereon, and said probe bracket supporting said probe mounting member in said second position with said mounting member rotated 90.degree. about the vertical axis of said post and with said upright leg of said mounting member lying across and supported upon said upper ends of said side arms of said probe bracket.
